Black Ops 6’sThe Tomb marked its debut for Season 2, serving as the second map to arrive as part of the post-launch content forBlack Ops 6. The Tomb, in essence, plays much like a bonus map, just like Liberty Falls, throwing players into an excavation site complete with eerie temple ruins and claustrophobic tunnels.
Those diving into The Tomb for the first time will likely find themselves preoccupied with battling the undead,getting to the Pack-a-Punch Machine, and charting out their next course of action. However, with enough time, they can progress onto the map’s series of Easter Eggs. The Tomb is home to a variety of creative Easter Eggs for players to progress through, some playing key roles in the story, while others serve as fun secrets to uncover. Here is a guide toevery Easter Egg in The Tomb.
Main Easter Egg Quest
First up isThe Tomb’s main Easter Egg quest, where our band of misfits venture into an excavation site within the Principality of Avalon. Armed with the Obscurus Altilium Amulet—which they acquired on Citadelle Des Morts—our ex-Requiem members embark on a mission to obtain the Sentinel Artifact in hopes of rescuing Samantha Maxis from the Dark Aether.
The initial steps of this quest are among the easiest in the series so far. Still, the boss fight is significantly challenging, with even powerful explosive weaponslike Mustang and Sallyproving ineffective.
For completing the main Easter Egg in The Tomb, players will earn the X91 Ice-Pike skin for the Staff of Ice, 5,000 XP, and an exclusive Classified Calling Card—available only to those who complete it before the arrival of Directed Mode.

The Staff Of Ice
A crucial step in completing the main quest isacquiring the Staff of Ice, a returning Wonder Weapon that first debuted in Origins duringBlack Ops 2. This powerful weapon has the ability to freeze enemies in their tracks and plays a key role in several main Easter Egg steps. However, obtaining the Staff of Ice can be a challenging process, requiring players to solve multiple puzzles to build it.
